Abstract

The present invention concerns a cooling system with an integrated condenser, the cooling system containing at least one compressor which via a pressure outlet may conduct a first coolant through a line to at least one condenser, from where the first coolant flows through at least one expansion valve to at least one evaporator, from where the first coolant is sucked back to the compressor via the suction line of the compressor, where the condenser and the evaporator may both be constructed as closed containers, the containers each containing at least one heat exchanger, where a second coolant flows through the heat exchanger of the evaporator, and where a cooling medium flows through the heat exchanger of the condenser, the cooling medium exchanging heat with the surroundings. It is the object of the invention to indicate an efficient and compact cooling system that forms an assembled unit containing all cooling functions in order to interact with a cooling installation. The container containing the heat exchanger of the condenser may also contain means for oil separation, and the container may interact with an expansion valve. Hereby may be achieved that largely all cooling functions occurring at the same pressure level are integrated in a common pressure vessel. This may be enabled by two different pressure vessels, so that a vessel having about the pressure level existing on the pressure outlet of the compressor includes condensing, oil separation and expansion valve as well. On the evaporator side where the pressure in the container is about equal to the suction pressure of the compressor, there may thus occur integration of an efficient flooded evaporator and a liquid separator.
